  • Forcing Network Callout

    From Warp 4@VERT/WILDCAT to All on Tuesday, October 06, 2020 16:03:00
    Hi all!

    Was wondering if there was a way to for a QWK network
    callout in Synchronet/Linux?

    Yes; adjust the path below as necessary for your install:

    touch /sbbs/data/qnet/vert.now

    There's also the ;call sysop command when logged into the terminal server. umonitor and gtkmonitor both have "Force QWKnet callout" menu options too.
